Contrasting vulnerability of monospecific and species-diverse forests to wind and bark beetle disturbance: The role of management
Original language description
Wind and bark beetle disturbances have increased in recent decades, affecting Europe s coniferous forests with particular severity. Management fostering forest diversity and resilience is deemed to effectively mitigate disturbance impacts, yet its efficiency and interaction with other disturbance management measures remain unclear. We focused on Central Europe, which has become one of the hotspots of recent disturbance changes. We used the iLand ecosystem model to understand the interplay between species composition of the forest, forest disturbance dynamics affected by climate change, and disturbance management. The tested measures included (a) active transformation of tree species composition toward site-matching species, (b) intensive removal of windfelled trees, which can support the buildup of bark beetle populations, and (c) reduction of mature and vulnerable trees on the landscape via modified harvesting regimes. We found that management systems aiming to sustain the dominance of Norway spruce
